EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019: Airshows-Saturday Night Airshow, Part 7

The Aero Experience continues our coverage of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019, sponsored by Elite Aviation, with our final series featuring airshow performers. The Saturday night airshow is a seminal event, highlighting the final weekend of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh in grand style. The Saturday night airshow is a combination of high drama, colorful skies and patriotic entertainment that melds tens of thousands of people into one family. The atmosphere of comradery, emotional engagement and sensory overload experienced during the night airshow is the high point of the nation's largest aviation event.

Some of the performers featured during our previous coverage of the daily airshows will be included in the night airshow coverage. Here we feature the trio of the Patriot Parachute Team, Red Bull Air Force and Matt Younkin flying his Beech 18.

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019: Airshows - Patriot Parachute Demonstration Team Opening Act

The Aero Experience resumes our year-round coverage of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019, sponsored by Elite Aviation, with a look at the opening act for the daily airshows - The Patriot Parachute Demonstration Team. Owned and operated by military veterans, the team jumps from military and civilian aircraft clad in their striking red and black uniforms. Trailing red smoke and a giant U.S. flag, the team members fly joined together and split off dramatically just before landing. 

Here we feature the team performing on several days during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019. Monday's opening act included the Patriots accompanied by the EAA's North American P-64 and a Christen Eagle aerobatic biplane.
